Our
Office
has become the
'the place
to be' for
the orthodontic treatment of many of the kids
and teens in the Chino Valley area of
Southern California. One look at the relaxed
and pleasant ocean and surfing themed surroundings
and you'll see why. Our
adult patients agree
too! |

The kids waiting room
has X-Box, PS2, and
Game Cube computer games featuring the
new EYE TOY which is a great
hit! Overhead a baby dolphin chases flying fish.

The Best in Eating
Advice:
Please do not eat hard foods: nuts, ice, crisp taco
shells, whole apples and carrots (cut them into
pieces first), hard French bread crust and rolls,
spareribs, corn on the cob (cut the corn off the
cob before eating), and popcorn. These foods risk
breaking brackets and wires. Also beware of nail
biting and pen or pencil chewing habits, since these
can damage your braces. Do not eat sticky foods:
taffy, caramels, bubble gum, sticky candy of any
sort. A small piece of sugarless gum occasionally
is acceptable. Use common sense about most foods Invisalign. |

Check
your braces occasionally for anything loose or bent.
If a brace comes loose or you break a wire, please
call our office so that we can arrange an appointment
long enough to repair it. Be as specific as possible
with the receptionist. If you lose your rubber bands,
call us so we can mail you some more or drop by
the office and pick some up.
BRUSHING
You will notice that it is much harder to keep your
teeth clean with braces. Food collects around the
braces and between your teeth, and can only be removed
by brushing and flossing. If plaque remains on the
teeth for any length of time, it will leave a permanent
white scar on the tooth surface. Brushing after
meals should become part of your daily schedule.

here for brushing and flossing instructions.
SORE
TEETH
After braces are placed in the mouth it is normal
for the teeth to be sore for about 1 to 3 days.
Tylenol or Advil will help relieve this discomfort.
Some irritation to the cheeks and/or lips is normal,
but if you feel anything sharp poking you or any
sores developing, please call our office at 909-597-4777. |
